Comedian Michael McIntyre joked about "moving to Dublin" as he performed his first show back after he was robbed by a gang of hammer-wielding thieves on mopeds.
But he appeared defiant as he entertained a full arena at 3Arena on Thursday, the MailOnline reports.
"It's great to be here, in fact I'm moving here, f*** London," the comedian said.
"It hasn't been a great week. But I'm okay, we're okay."
He added that everyone had been "amazingly supportive".
The windows of McIntyre's black Range Rover were smashed and he was forced to hand over a Rolex watch in the attack. He had been waiting to collect his sons in Golders Green when he was approached by two men.
Reliving the moment on stage, he said: "It was not so much the fast and the furious as stationary and panicking. I could not get it started. It was fight or flight."
He added: "It was touch and go whether I came here. It is my favourite gig, it is my favourite arena."
McIntyre also confirmed his Rolex was taken, quipping that if he had worn a cheaper one it would not have been taken.
"They say time is the healer," he joked. "I have lost my watch, how is time going to heal? I have no idea what time it is."
McIntyre admitted it had not been a great week.
He reflected: "Unfortunately I had to fend for myself and it did not go well. Think the film Taken, with Liam Neeson."
